Lionheart is the second studio album by the English singer-songwriter Kate Bush. It was released in November 1978, just nine months after Bush's successful debut album The Kick Inside. Lionheart reached no. 6 on the UK Albums Chart and became her only album not to make the top 5. It's been certified Platinum by the BPI. The first single taken from the album, Hammer Horror, missed the UK Top 40. However, the follow-up single, Wow, was released on the back of Bush's UK tour and became a UK Top 20 hit.

I spent a lot of my time looking at blue,
The color of my room and my mood:
Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth;
The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out,
The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about.

When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in,
Go blowing my mind on God:
The light in the dark, with the neon arms,
The meek He seeks, the beast He calms,
The head of the good soul department.

I see myself suddenly
On the piano, as a melody.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.

I associate love with red,
The colour of my heart when she's dead;
Red in my mind when the jealousy flies,
Red in my eyes from emotional ties,
Manipulation, the danger signs.

The more I think about sex, the better it gets.
Here we have a purpose in life:
Good for the blood circulation,
Good for releasing the tension,
The root of our reincarnations.

I see myself suddenly
On the piano, as a melody.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.

I love Kate Bush and from what I read she didn't enjoy making this album. But above all of her albums I love this one the most. by far. The tonal quality of her voice and the quality of the recording in my opinion is head and shoulders above her other productions. Shame she didn't do more albums in this warm and spacious style.

ShinjiGetInTheFuckingRobot I believe it was because the album had restrictions in terms of what she wanted to do with it
